Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been ruled out for his team's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a nagging groin issue, per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. The 26-year-old has recorded 656 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 118 total touches through seven games so far this season. It's unclear how long Swift will be sidelined, but Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that the groin issue is something Swift has been dealing with for multiple weeks. Without Swift in Week 9, the Bears will likely rely heavily on rookie running back Kyle Monangai. Monangai has been efficient on a limited workload so far this season, recording 247 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. He profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in a highly favorable matchup against Cincinnati in Week 9.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been on the team's injury report since Week 7, and head coach Ben Johnson believes the lingering groin issue dates back even earlier than that. To Swift's credit, he has played in every game this year and has not seen fewer than 13 opportunities in any of them. With the Bears currently sitting one spot outside the playoff picture, Johnson understands the importance of balancing the short and long-term health of his team. Rookie Kyle Monangai was a popular Week 8 waiver wire add after seeing a season-high in snaps, carries, and yards in the team's Week 7 win over the Saints. And while he didn't see that type of usage in last week's loss to the Ravens, he was still on the field for 29 offensive snaps, compared to Swift's 31. In positive game scripts moving forward, the Bears might be more inclined to rest Swift, making the rookie a hold with a stretch of winnable games coming up for Chicago.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has yet to practice this week and missed a second straight practice on Thursday due to a groin injury that he's been battling. Swift has played through a groin injury for the last couple of weeks, but he hasn't had two straight missed practices to begin the week, which means he could finally be in danger of missing a game this Sunday versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy managers looking for RB help should immediately run to the waiver wire and see if rookie Kyle Monangai is available, as he would likely take on lead-back duties for the Bears this weekend if Swift is out or limited at all. The 26-year-old Swift has been a must-start RB in fantasy this year as the focal point of Chicago's offense, but his status is in peril this week. In addition to Swift not practicing yet this week, RB Roschon Johnson (back) also has two straight DNPs.
Oct 30, 2025 3:23 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice, the first of the week. Swift also missed practice last Wednesday before two straight limited practices. He ultimately played in the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but played under half of the offensive snaps while totaling 73 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on his 13 touches. His DNP to begin the week is notable, but as long as he returns to practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be active this weekend in a very favorable matchup on Sunday on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old has been a focal point of head coach Ben Johnson's offense in 2025, making him a must-start in fantasy lineups if he's active. If for some reason Swift is limited or out in Week 9, rookie Kyle Monangai would be a plug-and-play option at RB in fantasy.
Oct 29, 2025 5:13 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. The lead running back carried a questionable tag into this game with a groin injury. However, he was able to progress enough to suit up. Swift followed a similar practice pattern last weekend as well and enjoyed a dominant showing against the Saints, totaling a season-best 124 yards and a score on 19 attempts. Fantasy managers should view Swift as a solid RB2 with upside in all formats, facing a Baltimore defense that has allowed the second-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.
Oct 26, 2025 11:46 AM EST
According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 26-year-old has been dealing with the groin issue for a few weeks. However, it didn't stop him from suiting up for the Week 7 win over the New Orleans Saints. It also didn't prevent him from amassing 124 yards and a touchdown off 19 touches. While Swift should continue to split carries out of the backfield with rookie Kyle Monangai, he's still a solid fantasy option for the meeting with the Ravens, a team that has struggled to slow down opposing fantasy running backs throughout the 2025 campaign.
Oct 26, 2025 2:16 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is once again listed as questionable for Week 8 but is expected to play. Since returning from the team's Week 5 bye, Swift has been on fire, totaling 313 yards and two touchdowns on just 36 carries over his last two games. The Bears have seemingly found their rhythm on the ground, with both Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai posting their best performances of the season in recent weeks. That success should continue in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs this year. Assuming he suits up, Swift should be viewed as a high-end RB2 with strong upside in this favorable matchup.
Oct 25, 2025 11:17 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens due to a groin injury. Swift was held out of practice on Wednesday before logging limited practices on both Thursday and Friday due to the injury. The 26-year-old has recorded 585 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 105 touches across six games so far this season. His two best games have come over the last two weeks, as he's recorded 313 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in his last two games combined. If Swift were to miss Week 8, Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai would likely see the majority of the backfield work. Monangai recorded a career-high 13 carries in Week 7 and scored his first NFL touchdown. Assuming Swift can play, he profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 8 against Baltimore.
Oct 24, 2025 3:42 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session. Swift's return to practice on Thursday should put him on track to be available for this Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and their banged-up defense. With Ben Johnson in town running Chicago's offense, Swift has been a focal point, carrying the ball 89 times for 419 yards (4.7 yards per tote) and three touchdowns while adding 16 catches for 166 yards and another score through the air. He has had at least 12 carries in all six games so far in 2025 and has had a combined 33 carries for 232 rushing yards and a touchdown in the last two games against the Saints and Commanders. The Ravens have allowed nearly 110 rushing yards per game this year, so Swift will be an absolute must-start in fantasy lineups this weekend.
Oct 23, 2025 4:01 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Swift was limited in practice last week due to the injury, but still managed a season-high 19 carries for 124 yards and a touchdown, along with one reception for 14 yards in Week 7 against the Saints. The 26-year-old has maintained a consistent workload in Chicago's backfield with at least 15 touches in every game and has been surging of late, becoming the fourth running back this season to rush for over 100 yards in consecutive games after his last two games. His injury status will be updated throughout the week, and if he is unable to play on Sunday, rookie Kyle Monangai would likely handle the majority of the touches.
Oct 22, 2025 4:49 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is on a roll as the team's feature back. In the 26-14 win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 7, Swift carried the ball a season-high 19 times and ran for a season-high 124 yards while also scoring his third rushing touchdown of the year. He added one catch on his only target for a 14-yard gain. The Bears leaned heavily on their backfield in this one, with rookie Kyle Monongai also seeing 13 carries that he took for 81 yards and a touchdown. The 26-year-old Swift was extremely efficient with his opportunities against New Orleans, and he's been a big part of head coach Ben Johnson's offense all year, seeing at least 12 rushing attempts in all six of his games so far in 2025. The Bears have now won four games in a row and will look to make it five in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens. Swift will look to make it three straight 100-yard rushing games in that contest against the Ravens' suspect defense.
Oct 19, 2025 11:23 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. The 26-year-old is coming off a phenomenal performance in which he totaled 108 rushing yards, 67 receiving yards, and one touchdown. The outburst vaulted him to the overall RB18 in fantasy scoring this year. He remains a mid-range RB2 option in a potentially positive game script situation against the Saints.
Oct 19, 2025 11:33 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) enters Week 7 listed as questionable, but he has expressed confidence that he'll suit up against the Saints. Swift is coming off a massive Week 6 performance, racking up 175 total yards and a touchdown on just 16 touches against a solid Commanders run defense. He handled 60% of the snaps, while rookie Kyle Monangai logged 31%, confirming Swift's hold on the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Facing a Saints defense that ranks 12th against running backs, Swift's volume will be crucial in this one. With the Bears favored for the second time this season and a run-heavy game script likely, Swift projects as a strong high-end RB2, assuming he's good to go against the Saints.
Oct 18, 2025 12:09 PM EST
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said he is "hopeful" that running back D'Andre Swift (groin) will be healthy enough to play in the team's Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, per Chris Emma of 670 The Score. Swift has been limited in practice this week due to a groin injury and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday. The 26-year-old has mostly dominated backfield snaps in Chicago this season, recording 447 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 85 total touches through five games. If Swift were unable to play, rookie running back Kyle Monangai would likely step into a workhorse role with third-year back Roschon Johnson possibly mixing in as well. Should Swift be able to give it a go, he profiles as a solid fantasy RB2 in Week 7 against New Orleans.
Oct 17, 2025 3:08 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday due to a groin injury. Swift was not on Wednesday's injury report, which could indicate that he tweaked the groin during Thursday's practice. The 26-year-old has recorded 447 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 85 total touches through five games so far this season. If he is unable to suit up in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints, Bears running back Kyle Monangai would likely see a majority of the backfield work. Third-year back Roschon Johnson could factor into the mix as well. Assuming Swift can play on Sunday, he profiles as a solid fantasy RB2 in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2025 4:30 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift gashed Washington for 108 yards on 14 carries and added two catches (three targets) for 67 yards through the air on Monday night, including a 57-yard touchdown. Swift was efficient on his carries all night as the Bears consistently used him on outside runs and got him into space. His 108 rushing yards were his most in a game since last season against Washington, when he ran for 129 yards on 18 carries. The 26-year-old entered the night averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, but more than doubled that with an impressive 7.7 yards per attempt in this game. This breakout performance could signal better days for Swift in the future, and he'll rank in RB2 territory for Week 7 against the Saints.
Oct 14, 2025 12:09 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift will look to bounce back after a sluggish start to the 2025 season. Through four games, Swift has logged 56 carries for 187 yards and two touchdowns, adding 13 receptions for 85 yards through the air. It's been an inefficient stretch for the former second-round pick, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, with only one broken tackle so far. Rookie Kyle Monangai has impressed early, which could start to pressure Swift's workload if his struggles continue. The matchup against the Commanders isn't ideal either, as they've allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. However, Swift torched Washington last year for 129 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, showing he's capable of breaking out in this spot. Swift projects as a low-end RB2, as he hopes to rebound off a slow start.
Oct 11, 2025 12:08 PM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. Swift has delivered modest production through the first three games of the season, amassing 143 rushing yards, 69 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He ranks as the 24th-best running back in terms of fantasy scoring but should really be viewed as a mid-to-low RB3/flex, especially given that his snap share has declined since Week 1. We could see more Kyle Monangai on Sunday, but Swift will still be the primary option.
Sep 28, 2025 3:32 PM EST
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is likely to be active for the Week 4 matchup between Chicago and the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran back is officially listed as questionable on the Bears's final injury report, though it seems as if he'll still play this week. He's been a serviceable starter this year with some receiving upside, catching nine passes on 11 targets through three games, albeit on offense that has really struggled at times. Swift is a playable flex option this week against a good Raiders run defense.
Sep 28, 2025 7:25 AM EST
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 4 against the Raiders. Swift was limited in practice throughout the week, but early signs suggest he's trending toward suiting up on Sunday. Through three games, he's logged 42 carries for 149 yards and a touchdown, along with nine receptions for 63 yards. While the numbers don't jump off the page, there are some positives point to better days ahead. The Bears' offense has been rolling under new head coach Ben Johnson, ranking ninth in points scored and coming off a statement win over Dallas. Swift has also been the clear lead back, handling 66% of the snaps and dominating backfield touches. Week 4 brings a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. In a game that projects to be high scoring, Swift should again see steady usage, and any trip to the end zone would push him into RB2 territory, assuming he's good to go.
